And here’s another debut single, this time from the band IIIII (pronounced/interpreted as “Lines”). The song “People” smells of electropop hit for the radio from afar I dare to say. Adele Kosman from For BDK joins them on vocals which just makes it even better Adele Kosman:

Holy is a project started by Hannes Ferm, hailing from Umeå. A few days ago he showed the title track “Golden Fog” from the upcoming debut EP. It’s two minutes of wonderful garage-psychadelia with reverb and sharp guitars which sound like they were fetched directly from the 60’s originals. The debut EP will be released on the 10th of December.

The duo Moodblanc, Magnus Dahlöf and Kenneth Jovinder, have now arrived at the eighth chapter in their ongoing story, which you can follow at their site. It’s called “Friday Night”, in which they turn on the whole package of disco charm including strings, funky riffs and “let’s go dancing”-choirs, moodblanc style.

The Grand Minnows, who I wrote about earlier this year, have released a new EP, “Diamond Man”, with three songs. They write that they wanted to create a stronger rock vibe to the sound with more speed but still easy to listen to. And I think they’ve succeeded quite well with that. The guitars are rawer, it feels more straight on with more energy and they are moving more and more into post grunge, still expressing their great sense of catchy melodies. If you’re in Kalmar (Sweden) on Saturday 29/11 you can see them play live at Witten right before Truckfighters.

On his new single “Rural”, released today, Tkačuk has collaborated with the indie band Humfree Bug Art. It turns out as a fascinating meeting where they have managed to merge their special characteristics in a beautiful way. They write about the song:

“Rural is about the expectations you have as a teenager, that everything will get better with time. Leaving the small and old for something bigger and better…”
